Hailing from Colchester, England, Modern English carved their musical trajectory, initially self-releasing on Limp Records before 4AD beckoned—a label synonymous with Bauhaus and Cocteau Twins. Gothic and industrial pioneers, they charmed BBC DJ John Peel, birthing classics like I Melt With You. Their new wave anthem, exceeding 8 million radio plays, clinched a Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2020 BMI Awards.
With original members still igniting the creative flame, their forthcoming album 1 2 3 4 boasts Crazy Lovers, a single produced by Mario J McNulty (David Bowie, Lou Reed), delivering fresh, fervent new wave vibes that prove their enduring passion.
